indentTupdale is capable of handling only
about a 5-coach train at its platforms but the "brief" from the customer was to
be able to run 10-coach expresses. Since the storage sidings are hidden away there is a
need to be able to re-form trains within the station. By placing the two crossovers beyond
the sharp curves at each end of the station we have 17 feet between them and so can easily
handle the longest train the sidings will take - a double-headed 18-coach monster!
